- Rated 5 out of 5 by Hunter62 from Durable and light I have used other brand's wedges and they broke in half only the second time I used it. The Stihl wedges are stronger and more reliable than others. I use the wedges for felling and bucking. Wedges are the safest way to fell a tree. I own three Stihl wedges, I smash them into the tree to prevent bar pinch and to control the tree while felling. I have hit the wedges with my saw and no damage occurred to the chain. Very useful tool.
